  $(function() {        
          $('#message').keydown(function() {
                  var mychars = $('#message').val().length; 
                  var mysms = Math.ceil(mychars / 160);

                           console.log (mysms); 
                           console.log (mychars +'' + ' characters'); 
           });
      });
